Tooth Colored Fillings

Renewing Smiles with Esthetically Pleasing, Tooth-Colored Fillings

Millions of people have amalgam/metal fillings. Over time, they may crack or warp, jeopardizing oral health. Drs. Kidwell and Albus use tooth-colored fillings made of durable composite resin to return form and function to decayed teeth.

During your checkup or new patient exam, your dentist will inspect your existing fillings for wear and assess each of your teeth for decay. If you need a new filling or want metal ones replaced, the dentist will tint a small amount of composite resin to match your natural tooth color and bond it into your prepared cavity. Composite resin won’t warp or change shape, so it will protect your tooth for years to come.
